DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When to call us in Kippington
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Kippington: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover Kippington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Kippington and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairing versus replacing in Kippington
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
